The Nineteenth Edition. by [DEFOE, Daniel (1661?-1731)]](https://images.vialibri.net/production/27/HMF1270---800.jpg?v=1727436534)
The Life and Most Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner; Who lived eight and twenty years in an uninhabited island on the coast of America, near the mouth of the great river Oroonoque... The Nineteenth Edition.
Reputedly based on the experience of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on the Pacific island called Mas a Tierra, now part of Chile, which was renamed “Robinson Crusoe Island” in 1966. Another suggeted source for Defoe’s inspiration is Robert Knox’s account of his abduction by the king of Ceylon in 1659. The work is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction, and is one of the most widely published works in English literature.
A life of Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) based largely upon George Rust’s Funeral Sermon, 1668.
Signed “C.B.” at the end of the text, this work was formerly attributed to Jonathan Swift.

This is sometimes confused with another periodical, The Occasional Paper, by Richard Willis published in 1697-8. It appears, however, to be part of “ A Collection of Occasional Papers for the Year 1716 (-18)” edited by Avery with contributions by Simon Browne, Benjamin Grosvenor, Samuel Wright, John Evans, Jabez Earl, Nathaniel Lardner and Mose Lowman, and collectively known as the Bagweel Papers from the initials of the authors. The letters are replies to anti-dissenting texts. Copac locates two copies (BL & Edinburgh) of the collected edition (3 vols) and a few odd parts. BUCOP adds more.

The Poetical Works... with his Letters and his Journals, and His Life by His Son.
Originally allied with Walpole, Pulteney gradually became alienated from him and in 1725 began a journalistic war against him through the columns of ‘The Craftsman’, finally joining with Sir William Wyndham in forming a new party of malcontent Whigs called “The Patriots”. His power as an orator led Walpole to observe that he feared Pulteney’s tongue more than another man’s sword.
